Apple today officially launched its new 13 ″ Macbook Pro 2020s, and while the more expensive models come with the latest 10th Intel Core processors. Generation, the processors of the cheapest models belong to the 8th. Generation, something that should not happen in 2020 and less in a model of 1200 dollars.
These base models have an 8va Core i5. Quad-core generation with a base frequency of only 1.4GHz, boosting up to 3.9GHz. Although they bring new advantages such as the Magic Keyboard, the high-end keyboard that Apple used in more expensive models, anyway an 8va processor. Generation in 2020 on a notebook for more dollars is practically unacceptable. Despite still being good processors, it is not a good move to use processors from two generations ago as it impacts both the performance and the image of the product and the brand.
If you want a 10ma processor. Generation, Apple offers models with this generation from US $ 1799, also based on the Core i5 line. There are no models with Core i7, so if they want more performance they will have to go for the larger screen models, and not the 13 ″ ones.
These new Macbooks are now available for preorder in the United States, and will begin shipping next week.
What do you think about this decision by Apple to launch a Macbook Pro with 8va processors. Generation in 2020?
